Weather update | A cold front will reach the south of the Kingdom at dawn and on Friday morning, accompanied by heavy rain.

Weather experts at Arab Weather expect the effects of the cold front to reach the southern parts of the Kingdom during the early morning hours of Friday, specifically the governorates of Karak, Tafila, the Southern Ghor and the Dead Sea, where heavy rains are expected to raise the risk of flash floods and soil and rock erosion in the affected areas.

In contrast, rain continues to fall on some northern regions and will be heavier in the center of the Kingdom on Friday morning. Low clouds will pass through, touching the ground, causing dense fog to form over the high mountain peaks, leading to a decrease and perhaps even a complete lack of horizontal visibility on some roads.

During the rest of Friday, the low pressure system will move away from the Kingdom, while cold and humid air currents will continue, and temperatures will be 3-4 degrees Celsius below average, with generally cold weather prevailing, with clouds continuing to appear at different altitudes, and rain falling from time to time in parts of the north and center of the Kingdom and some southern highlands.

Key recommendations during the weather event:

• Wear warm clothes, especially during the night and early morning hours.
• Safe use of heating appliances.
• Drive carefully and leave a safe distance during rain and fog.
• Be aware of the risk of flash floods and overflowing valleys, especially in low-lying areas and places where flash floods usually form.
• Beware of landslides and rockfalls, especially in the southern highlands, slope areas, and valleys.
• Be aware of dense fog and reduced horizontal visibility on highways.
